Troy McNaughtonLate Night Lattes @ Belaroma
April 19th 2006 06:23
Ok, its possible that they were going for bel aroma, which translates as “beautiful aroma.” And I won’t deny that from time to time Belaroma, Shop 1/2, 303 Pacific Highway, Lindfield does have some tasty wafts to offer. Look it up. But more than coffee (which is acceptable though overpriced at $3.50, so really it’d wanna be bloody brilliant), this particular café, well patronised by most of the North Shore, has culinary offerings that would put many restaurants to shame.
There is always sushi, as well as traditional café sandwiches (get your chops around the smoked salmon open sandwich – to die for) and melts (for the chicken/avocado/cheese enthusiasts among us), but at night the menu eats all the leftovers from the day and doubles in size.
mmm Mortal Sin
Be warned, however: it’s a very popular dinner choice most nights of the week since its open late (sometimes until after 10pm), easy to get to by car, and by the train line - if you have more than two people I’d recommend booking on (02) 9416 8392. We can add this one to our Late Lattes series – if you’re still there talking and you can persuade the next table to do the same, the staff are generally quite obliging in staying open.
It’s also a good venue for staking out the local member for the electorate of Davidson – the offices are within spitting distance.

Til next time, a man went to his psychiatrist and said, "Every time I drink my coffee, I get a stabbing pain in my right eye."
The psychiatrist said, "Well, have you tried taking the spoon out?"

As for the eastern suburbs, next time I'm in the neighbourhood I'll certainly have a scout, but it's not exactly on the way to anywhere... except the sea...!

Fine!
*looks suspiciously at Amy, Stanley and Adam*
You live on the North Shore, Amy? Is it that packed with late night cafes?
Comment by amy
North-West thankyou very much!
(means I get to talk to the North Shores AND the Westies =))
There's another one in Cremorne I'll review soonish... Maisy's Cafe. 24 hours believe it or not. An institution.
And anyway, what do you call Ultimo??? It's not quite inner west, it's not quite CBD... what team are you on anyway?!

Yeah, Ultimo... I don't know what's up with it. It's basically the piece of toejam between the city and Glebe...
